I will be getting my trial bike this early summer and wanted to know what you think? Bassically, I am more of a everything rider when it comes to trials. Don't like to stay on the back wheel too much (more urban). So I need a bike that probably has a low bb (+0,10mm) and not too short chain stays.
The only bike I have found that is pretty good for my needs, is the Leeson Clear 660. The only problem is that I don't think they sell overseas to the US. Any ideas for a bike simillar to the leeson. Any help would be nice.

try one of the newer Planet X Jack Flash's (http://www.zedsport.com/pages/mountain/planetx/jackflash.htm) I would love to have one if I could afford another bike.

The Jack Flash is way to street. The echo is nice, and that is my bike that I will fall back on if I don't find what I am looking for. The only problem, is I am conserned that it won't be good enough for doing spins, and riding thin lines. Knobco is nice but too expensive, and would ride weird without a suspension fork I think. Wouldn't it have to be bigger than like a 420mm fork?
Another bike frame I just discovered was the batch kot frame. It is made out of Ti and I think it is fairly cheap. Any experience with them?
Does anyone know for sure if Leeson sells to the US, they haven't returned my email?
Anything else that comes to mind would be appreciated.
